HIS TORY OF
AF TERNOON TEA
Berry Berry (Decaffeinated)
Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is often
credited with the invention of the tradition of
afternoon tea in the early 1840’s. Traditionally
dinner was not served until 8:30 or 9:00 in the
evening and the Duchess often became hungry,
especially in the summer when dinner was
served even later. She ordered a small meal of
bread, butter, and other niceties, such as cakes,
tarts, and biscuits, to be brought secretly to her
boudoir. When she was exposed she was not
ridiculed, as she had feared, but her habit caught
on and the concept of a small meal, of niceties
and perhaps tea, became popular and eventually
known as “afternoon tea”.
The climate in the Cascade Mountains provides
perfect growing conditions for this cool, pungent and lively tea.
A blend of elder-berries,
dried currants, strawberries, blueberries and hibiscus petals.
Egyptian Chamomile (Decaffeinated)
Uncannily calming beverage; made from the best golden
and fragrant chamomile blossoms.
The taste is mildly bitter with a fruity flavour.
Kea Lani Orange Pineapple (Decaffeinated)
A bold and bright orange-pineapple tea made
from all-natural herbs and dried fruit, this blend offers
a refreshing and slightly tart profile.
